I really want to do something different with my hair. Something I have never done before. It’s half way down my back right now and I.WANT.TO.CHOP.IT.ALL.OFF. Kinda like a fresh start and new me. Confident me(:

My face is chunky. I do have a double chin (slowly going away). My hair is thin so I feel like all the weight is weighing it down.

I want your Bee’s opinions though. Should I keep it long and just dye it different or cut it off to my shoulders? Kinda like A LINE cut?

This is me with long hair!

And this is me with short(er) hair. I want to cut it shorter this time(:

If your hair gets weighed down by the weight you’ll look AMAZING with a shorter cut. I have fine hair and had it down past the middle of my back, like you, for a long time. I loved all the things I could do with it but it always looked flat and I didn’t have a ton of volume (zero volume – it would look great right after I styled it and fall flat soon after when it was long). Honestly, you have a lovely shape to your face that is very versitile and YOUR FACE ISN’T TOO FAT FOR A SHORT CUT! You’re ADORABLE!

Funny enough, I showed that same picture to my stylist when I originally had all my hair chopped off. Now, without all that extra hair weighing it down, I have SO much volume and it’s now more manageable. We figured, if I hated it, it will always grow back. Why not shake things up now and again? 🙂 You should do it! 🙂 Here are my before an afters.

@figgnewton: Ughh. I hear you. I never understood how fine hair could feel like it weighed 92 lbs. 🙂 The funny thing is that as much as I loved my long hair I now kinda want to keep it this short. It rarely tangles, styling it actually gives me volume (unlike when it was long), and some days I can actually say I have big hair – who woulda thunk? 🙂 I think you should get a color while you’re at it! If you’re gonna change, go big. 🙂 And definitely post an after pic so we can see how it came out.

A shorter cut will require more frequent salon visits to keep it looking great.

I really recommend finding a very good stylist (Yelp is a good place to start looking) who can take into account your height, frame, and personality to create a hairstyle that reflects who you are and looks great on you.

I have long hair, and have kept it that way for a number of years. The very best stylists can cut a long hairstyle that moves and isn’t as-weighed-down by the weight of the hair.

I personally like you with longer hair; the shorter cut will emphasize the roundness in your face, which can be a good or a bad thing (depending on what you want to emphasize).

@Lyndzo: She’s a long distance cousin and she is a pregnant lady that does things old school. Like really old school. I was going to post a link to her stating that I can and I will. lol But I didn’t want to start anything either(:

@figgnewton: NO! Your face is NOT too fat! My face is way chunkier and I look fantastic with shorter hair. I was trying to let mine grow out, but mine is the same as yours. Really thin and limp. It just wasnt working. So last weekend I finally chopped it off and I feel like myself again!

This was before

And this is after

I’ve had my hair shorter than this before, too. And it also looked great. Just cause you have a chubby face, doesnt mean you have to hide it!
